We've looked at pricing details before but to reiterate - the best deal in terms of data is £15 ($23) a month with T-Mobile UK. This plan gives you 1GB of data but since 9720 will use good old BIS, that's more than enough.

Carphone Warehouse will also offer the 9720 SIM free for £169.95 ($263), which is about £10 cheaper than online retailers Unlocked Mobiles and Expansys. What's more, if you buy Pay as you go - meaning you need to purchase it with a SIM card, it will cost you £149.95 ($232), including a £10 top-up. Bear in mind we have VAT here in the U.K. so in essence, buying SIM free elsewhere could fetch $230 at the top end or $185 at the bottom end.

We should have the 9720 review for you in the next week, so if you're interested in reading up on that, keep your eyes peeled to CrackBerry.com.

I figure they just had some Bold parts left over and threw them together with the Q5 keyboard and a simple casing. Probably isn't costing them much at all to do this, and it makes the people who are still unwilling to change happy.

263 dollars for this shit, it has 512 mb storage, 5 mega pixel camera, 1500 battery, a lousy screen resolution, and a old software , I think the perfect price for it is 140,if I want a os7 device I will just buy bold 9900 or 9790 because it's has better specs, and this device is the same as 9320 so if I want something super cheap I will just buy 9320.

The Nexus 4 is currently going for 159 GBpounds. I'm a BlackBerry fan (I'm using the 9900) but if I was presented with this or the N4 I know which one I would choose! This is clearly aimed at enterprise as a workhorse device for legacy BES5 servers.

Do you mean lousy Web experience, freezing and battery pulls mature OS. Can't believe you just posted that. This same mature OS you speak of is what got BlackBerry into the position they are into now. BB10 is by far a better OS than the legacy devices that you speak of. Do a HTML5 test on a legacy device and compare it to a BB10 OS. Then you will see what is mature.

Let's hope the build quality is better than the 9300, 9320 and the 9860, my teenage daughter had all 3 of the over a period of 2 years. Every handset wore out within 8 months mostly with track ball problems, she even managed to wear completely through the return key on the 9860. The last 2 devices I had to buy SIM free as I was locked into a 2 year contract and the 9300 was only covered with a 12 month contract, but having said that I'm loving my Z10.............

It has been stated many times already, but for the new, I will post again. BlackBerry needs to keep certain countries going with BBOS refresher devices. Many people will want this; don't be surprised if it sells equal or even greater to the bb10 gear for a little while.
Also note that this is considered a 'transition to bb10' device, as it employs some swipe gestures. This is good for BlackBerry.
